‘For me he who is corrupt, not only from PDL [the opposition Democratic Liberal Party], but also from PSD [the ruling Social Democratic Party] and from PNL [the ruling National Liberal Party] and from PC [the ruling Conservative party] must be sent to prison. Therefore, we make no difference such as their corrupt people are bad and our corrupt people are good. … There are corrupt people who must pay and there are honest people who must no longer be persecuted as people who voted in the referendum were persecuted by Mr Morar and DNA [National Anticorruption Directorate],’ said Ponta.
